| Ideas for an Antenna in an Apartment with Aluminum Siding | WA2FTV | on 8/4/20 |
| I would disable your transmitter, (like unplugging a key or microphone), and hook up the back of your transceiver to your apartment grounding. If you still don't hear anything, then you might have a problem with your radio. If you do hear something, then you might have a problem with your antenna or feed line. | ||
| Field Day Battery Operation | W1ECH | on 8/4/20 |
| I realize this is an old forum, but hopefully somebody can answer my question. I will probably operate Field Day from my backyard as 1B-battery category, and I have a question about charging my battery. I am wondering if I can still get the x5 multiplier if I charge my battery by commercial means before the Field Day event, and charge it maybe halfway through with a solar panel. Thank you very much to those who reply! Javan, N8JLM |

| 80 Meter Trapped Dipole | W8UA | on 13/2/20 |
| After listening to the discussion on the ARRL Doctor Is In podcast about traps, I was formulating an idea for a wide-band eighty-meter dipole. I am wondering if there is a possible way to have a sharply tuned trap that would allow seventy-five meters to be covered with the shorter length, and for the bottom of the band on eighty meters, the whole antenna would be seen. I have never seen such antennas before, and I am wondering if there would be any way to make antennas like I described. |
